Organizations often use conferences or retreats to set priorities for initiatives to be accomplished during a given year. Community involvement may be one of those agenda items that need fresh formats to make the most effective use of your executives', employees’ or board members’ valuable time.

StandOut works with corporations, professional services firms, educational institutions, foundations, and public policy groups to help them design and manage interactive conferences and retreats that are launching pads to active community involvement. We assist our clients in effectively engaging their important stakeholders—both internal and external—in corporate citizenship initiatives by creating dynamic two-way conversations that benefit everyone.

We help conference and retreat planners to:

• Clarify goals for the overall meeting
• Design the agenda and program components
• Facilitate the meetings when desired
• Generate pre- and post-program surveys and reports
• Manage logistics
